Dwarves, a race of miners, smiths and warriors, they created great mountainhomes, where the hundreds of them were living and working... They were here in decades, but mass of a catastrophic situations turned these cities into ruins and number of Dwarves decreased to about 15 beards in year 169.
Other races, except goblins and kobolds who are around 2500 and 500 heads, are growing beyond 18 thousand heads.

My dwarves arrived to their place, I hope they will survive to the first caravan, in there, in mainly soiless lands... Yea, they aren't stupid, right? RIGHT?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Anyway, dwarves of The Bloody Will of Fishing arrived here:

Cougars, yea, these are quite dangerous.

Ok, they are here an-

What the hell?...
They were drunk or something!? They can't even properly land without crashing a wagon?... On the bright side I don't have to deconstruct a wagon... Well...

Cobaltite!? Who need that sh*t? Dwarves marked that place as with metals, but... but... BUT COBALTITE IS USELESS!!! ARRRGHHHH!!!!

(Calming down...)

I told to make 3 copper picks for miner and 2 other dwarves. Also I ordered to make copper axe for fisherdwarf, at this time he will be a woodcutter.
Also, bronze greaves, helm and gauntlets were made for puncher, who later killed a chinchilla and hoary marmot - without scratch! When I get more bronze, a full armor will be made.

I discovered that sand is here, I want glassmaker now.

Panda appeared here for few moments...
Note to self: Catch a pair of pandas, breed it in wild state(No pasturing needed) = meat, bones and skins.

Guys are mining a hallway and temporary rooms for stockpiles and workshops:

I hope they will find some true metals...

In Slate. I ordered to make some cheese, slaught wagon animals for food, create some pots. Brew booze... And also I told to dig a stairway, where they found orthoclase, few types of gems and...

HEMATITE! YAY!
I'm gonna build a magma forges, I HAVE TO!

And in this way Spring ran...

Summer Entry

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I ordered to dig out a place for magma and forges, I will be able to make some good stuff for caravans. I also started about piercing the bottom of the brook, to cause water flow closer to the fortress by tunnel, where I will pump it to prepared room. I also found galena, lead will be great material for making mugs, for elves.

In 21th Hematite two migrants came:
1. Ezum Astelerith, a skilled wound dresser and talented woodcrafter.
2. Her son Inod Nomalerlin.
Where is her husband? Well, he is probably dead...

Around this time my game horribly slowed to 20 FPS, What The F...!?

Around early Galena, miners managed to breach magma pipe which gave his hot treasure to magma section under forges.
WITHOUT CASUALTIES. I need just to dig channels for forges.


I also placed here a three cage traps. I think traps will be essential element of the fort's defence, we won't have enough dwarves for big military.

I made a "Dining Room" what is made from two tables and 2 chairs in corridor. This is "good" for dwarves, heh.

About end of the summer I breached the brook, but one ramp isn't enough, because water flow awfully slow. I must dig more holes...


And we got ravens here... F.....g birds...

I'm still suffering the low FPS.

Main part of the Fortress:

[peregarrett]

Alright, lets smelt some cheese here!
A turn, please. Will do my best at multiplying dwarf count there.

I have only half of year to make, I hope it won't die due to FPS...

[SilverDragon]

I would like a turn as well. If possible, can I claim Oddom Koloser as my own? If so, can he be named Silver?

WUT?! 1st year, 9 dorfs and you suffer from low FPS?
Eiither you have massive flood somewhere in caverns, or your computer totally sucks, dude. Even if embark size is 3x6, it should not be THAT slow.

I seriously don't know, that happened around time, when I used Dwarf Therapist to change jobs for migrant...
Probably this is cavern flooding. This can't be computer, because I can run around 40 dwarf fort in around 60 FPS... I will try second computer in my house, is much better.

Ok. Dwarfing is only for overseers due to lack of these epic guys.
Mistem Momuztangath is mine.

Autumn Entry

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I called my favorite dwarf, Mistem as 'Volf', The Founder, but Oddom got little mad and called himself as 'Silver' and calmed down. Heh.

I did more holes in watering canal, but that fluid still flow too slooooooow.
Probably that water and raging 6's of magma on top of Magma pipe are making FPS problem, but I'm not sure.

20th Limestone
Cilob was attacked by a wolverine, but 'Silver', the punchdwarf, did his work well. We got about 20 pieces of food.

We have many chinchillas here, maybe we should catch them, tame and train for war?

2th Sandstone
We got a seven migrants:
1. Adil Lirukdoren, a Accomplished Cheese Maker, Talented Liar and nice Axedwarf.
2. Bomrek Isanral, Great Cook and Novice Gem Setter.
3. Mebzuth Ushulnish, good Woodcutter, Bowyer and nice Butcher.
4. Momuz Cerollimul, Novice Fish Cleaner.
5. Rith Inenbomrek, High Master Carpenter and Accomplished Wood Burner
6. Ushrir Igatholtar, High Master Presser and Talented Mason.
7. Zuglar Morullisat, Accomplished Miller and Adept Miner. She Is Proficient in Swimming unlike other migrants who are Novices.
We have 16 Dwarves now.

I started works about making decent rooms for the most important thing in two levels below.

I built Trade Depot, but Dwarven Merchants didn't arrived, Catdamned! We must wait for Elves and Humans now and don't die from thirst, arrggghh!!!

[Medkit The Spy]

I would like a turn as well if it isn't too hard for you. Would really like to try to play a succession game.

Just be thankful it didn't have claws made from adamantium.
